Imprint: 1848 COLERIDGE, S. T. HINTS TOWARDS THE FORMATION OF A MORE COMPREHENSIVE THEORY OF LIFE. Edited by Seth B. Watson, M.D. [...] Philadelphia: Lea and Blanchard, 1848. First American edition (Haney, 76), the same year as the English first. [1-7]-94, [2, blank] pp., + [6] ff. publisher's ads. Tall 12mo., signed 1-86, 19.5 x 12.2 cm. Contemporary binding of brown ribbed cloth with a printed paper label ("Coleridge's Idea of Life") on the upper board. Cloth is chipped along spine and the label (only) is dampstained. Early ink ownership (J. J. Merriam) on ffep. Some scattered, light foxing throughout. Very good. The authenticity of this work was questioned immediately upon publication because Wise (Colerdidge, no. 92) notes that later issues of the London first edition included a Postscript, dated 17 October 1848, addressing the issue: "The editor [B. Watson] deems it right to state that [...] circumstances arose which lead to the belief that the work with more propriety be considered as the joint production of Mr. Coleridge and the late Mr. James Gillman, of Highgate." Watson had acknowledged "the late Rev. James Gillman, Incumbent at Trinity, Lambeth" in the Advertisement of this volume, along with two others, for "their great kindness in regard to" his publication. However, when the work was reprinted in 1885 in Coleridge's MISCELLANIES, AESTHETIC AND LITERARY, the editor, T. Ashe, defends and restores the sole attribution to Coleridge, downplaying Gillman's contribution ("Gillman may have made some verbal changes, or filled up some lacunae, in the Essay, but we strongly incline to think that it contains extremely little by his hand.") and citing Sara Coleridge's tacit acceptance of the work as being wholly her father's when discussing its critical reception in a letter to a friend (pp. 351-352).

Boston: Marsh, Capen & Lyon, 1834. First American edition, with notes and a bibliography, "by an American Physician."

Binding is sunned at spine and along perimeters, with shallow loss at heel and crown, and wear at tips of corners; and, the spine label is rubbed. Endpapers are foxed but the text leaves are clean. A sound and very good copy. Combe (Scottish, 1797-1847), a physiologist and phrenologist, completed his medical studies at Paris in 1818-19, concentrating on anatomy, and investigating the brain under J. G. Spurzheim's influence. He helped establish the Phrenological Journal in 1823, to which he was a frequent contributor throughout the rest of his life, and was elected president of the Phrenological Society in 1827. Combe published Observations on Mental Derangement, his first book, in 1837, with great success; but it was never reprinted because his busy schedule and chronically poor health did not allow him time to revise the text. Combe's writing is characterized by its simplicity, practicality, and general good sense. (D.N, Good Stock number: 78209.

Also included are offprints of related articles from various journals and what appear to be printed revisions. These are arranged somewhat chronologically, some out of order, and are dated from 1880-1881. This was the most radical revision of the Pharmacopoeia since the first edition of 1820, and included such amendments as the adoption of the metric system of weights and measures, an end to the practice of polypharmacy (mixing drugs into one formula), standardization of tincture concentrations at 10%, new classes of preparations such as abstracta, elixirs, oleates and triturations, and the abolition of fluid measures in the working formulas. Many documents bear the signature of committee head Charles Rice.

Imprint: 1809 CONDILLAC, Etienne Bonnot, Abbe de. THE LOGIC OF CONDILLAC, Translated by Joseph Neef, as an Illustration of the Plan of Education Established at his School near Philadelphia. Philadelphia, 1809. 12mo. 136[2]pp. First American edition. Condillac (1715-80) proposed that all learning and thinking originated in sensory experience. Joseph Neef (1770-1854) brought the ideas of Pestalozzi, the Swiss educational reformer, to the USA. Following Pestalozzi, he pioneered in the principles of "alternative education:" establishing a friendly relationship with the students, and eschewing memorization, drill, and corporal punishment in favor of field trips, demonstrations, and participatory learning. He believed that understanding was preferable to rote, and that health and excercise promoted learning. After founding schools in Switzerland and Paris he was persuaded to come to Philadelphia, and then to the Indiana utopian community of New Harmony. This book follows up on Neef's "Sketch of a Plan and Method of Education" (Philadelphia, 1808), the first educational treatise published in the New World. In early gray-green boards. Paper spine quite worn; foxing and spotting, light dampstain to last few leaves; ink owner's names to title. On the whole just a good copy. Quite scarce., Good Stock number: 78834.

Contains The Old Batchelor, The Double Dealer, Love for Love, The Mourning Bride, The Way of the World, The Judgment of Paris, Semele, and Poems on Several Occasions. Published one year after the author's death. This collected edition first appeared in 1710, when the Preface stated that its publication had been hastened because "these five Plays have lately undergone a spurious Impression, and have been very faultily, as well as very indirectly Published, in Prejudice both to the Author and to the Bookseller who has the Property of the Copy. In the Third Volume there is an Opera [Semele], which has never yet appear'd; of which there is little to be said in this place, but that that the Musick is excellently compos'd by Mr. John Eccles." Semele was never performed until 1743, when Handel composed the score which is still performed. Internally fine, in contemporary mottled calf boards, nicely rebacked with red lettering-pieces. Light wear to extremities., Fine Stock number: 76915.
